Just to prove there’s “One born every day,” irrespective of where they are on the executive totem pole, an Australian teenager has apologized to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for pretending to represent the national broadcaster in demanding the removal of hundreds of video clips from the YouTube website. The 15-year-old boy sent YouTube a signed form saying he represented the copyright owner, ABC Television, and that he wanted the footage, mostly from an ABC program, “The Chaser's War on Everything,” removed from the website. The clips had been placed on YouTube by other internet users. The head of ABC-TV comedy Courtney Gibson said the teenager had been contacted by the ABC's lawyers and had since apologized. Ms Gibson said it was not yet clear why the boy had decided to impersonate an ABC employee. What’s so funny about the whole thing is that the program is based on people pulling stunts, like getting people in authority to do dumb things by pretending to be someone in authority. I guess that’s what they call art imitating life!

"Filth, tarted up as satire!" Sounds like a heck of a program!
